What you can expect

The Salaam Cave Tour offers an exhilarating and enlightening exploration. Guided excursions generally commence with an overview of the cave’s history and formation, providing visitors with essential context before their adventure begins. As participants enter the cave, they will be captivated by the sudden temperature drop and the soothing sounds of dripping water reverberating through the chambers.

The guided tour typically leads visitors through several key areas of the cave, each revealing different formations and features. Tour guides play an essential role in enriching the experience by sharing captivating stories about the cave’s discovery, its cultural importance, and the various myths and legends that surround it. Many tours also include interactive elements, allowing visitors to engage with certain formations or participate in discussions about geology and ecology.

Lighting within the cave is thoughtfully designed to illuminate its natural beauty while protecting the delicate formations. Visitors can capture incredible photographs while remaining mindful of their surroundings. The tour often concludes with a reflective moment in a spacious chamber, allowing participants to appreciate the grandeur of the cave and create lasting memories of their adventure.
Next, learn about one of the main industries in the region: spices. Discover how the islands produce cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and black pepper. For this reason, the Zanzibar Archipelago, together with Tanzania's Mafia Island, is sometimes called the “Spice Islands”. There are many spice farms in Zanzibar and for the next portion of the tour, you will visit a real organic spice farm.

When you arrive, the spice farm guide will describe how the spices are grown and used as medication and flavor in dishes. See spices like vanilla, cardamom, nutmeg, and many more. It will be possible to touch, smell and taste the spices and herbs directly from plants. Later, take the opportunity to join a cassava leaf harvest, make coconut milk, and practice some cooking. Even more, a coconut tree climber will pick some fresh young coconut fruits for you to try. End the trip with lunch at the spice farm and the opportunity to purchase spices from the shop (cash only).
